This comes and goes for me, but there are times that unless it's about personal health (dairy, meat, chemicals in plastic), I just give up on environmental stuff. Which feels kind of blasphemous, but, for example, sometimes I see the cans and bottles on the counter that need rinsing before they go in recycling, and I just throw them in the trash. Counter cleared, job done.

I really think that sustainability won't really happen unless they make it easier on  us women - who do most of the housework, buy most consumer goods, etc. It's just gotta be easier, and built in - better products, better processes.

Oh, and much cheaper! There's a new green living homewares shop near me, and I thought, this is excellent, now I have a place to go to get stuff that somebody else already figured out. I saw a beautifully painted kitchen stool for ds - proper paint, proper wood, proper sources, fair trade, la la. $250. $250?!? O-kee.

There was a matching table and chairs - god knows how much.

We have the hybrid car, just did some renovations around energy efficiency, are getting solar panels, and dh is an environmental lawyer heavily involved in all this stuff. There are a lot of big ideas, but unless they trickle down to every day life, it feels like it's going to take forever to have impact.
